Michigan upsets UConn

ANN ARBOR, Mich.  Michigan looked like the team it expected to be, while No. 15 Connecticut struggled —again.

Zack Novak made a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1˝ minutes left and Manny Harris followed with a layup to power the Wolverines to a 68-63 win over the Huskies on Sunday.

The Wolverines (10-7) earned the signature win they needed in a season that started with them ranked 15th, coming off their first NCAA tournament appearance since 1998. They’ll have to finish the season very strong to earn another bid, but beating Connecticut could prove to be important.

“It’s got to help us,” Michigan coach John Beilein said.

The Huskies (11-6) have lost three straight for the first time since closing the 2006-07 season with four losses.

“We can’t keep doing this,” Jerome Dyson said. “We’ve got to fight through it because if we don’t fix this right now, we’re going to run out of time to fix it.”
